WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Join award-winning documentary photographer James Millar for a half-day workshop getting up close and personal with your DSLR camera. You bought the camera, have read the instructions, but it’s all still a bit of a mystery. The thing you need is camera confidence. Award winning photographer James Millar should come with every new DSLR camera. This is the next best thing!

WHAT WILL I BE LEARNING?

You’ll start with the basics: learning how the camera works. Understand exposure so you have full control, get to know your apertures from your shutter speeds and what is behind all this ISO business. Learn about focal lengths, which lenses are best for which shots, even depth of field gets a look in. This is a packed half-day, starting in the studio before it’s time to put your newfound skills into practice out on (yes really) location. Don’t panic if you can’t remember it all. Notes will be provided to take away and digest later.

THE ALL IMPORTANT DETAILS

The 4 hour session starts in a studio in east London before heading out on location to put what you've learned into practice. Sessions take place once per month on a weekend. Each workshop caters for up to 10 people. This class is for adults. Get in touch if you would like to buy this gift for someone under 16.

James was really patient and helpful and explained things several times which was good as there was definitely the full range of experience and cameras on the course.
He did say that he would send through the course notes afterwards for us to use to carry on learning about the different settings which I have yet to receive.
The only issue really was finding the place to meet - myself and a couple of others found the meeting place given on our confirmations but it turned out to be a coffee shop in the adjacent street where the course was actually taking place, not the Strongroom. James did email us approx 30 mins before the start of the course to notify us of this however it would have been a lot simpler to have had the right address from the start.

The course gave me the confidence to start using the settings on my camera. James made it all seam very possible.

I had a really great time although i have forgotten most of the stuff i learnt. It would have been nice to have some info sheets to take away or even emailed to me after the day had ended.

Amy and Carla

It was an amazing day we were really keen to try out our new skills when she got home! James was great at explaining everything and we thoroughly enjoyed the session. Many thanks to everyone involved in providing this wonderful experience.

I had a great session with James - not too many people in the group so plenty of personal interaction. James has a good, supportive, style and he pitched it at an appropriate level and was knowledgeable and informative.
